How are you coping today? #3

leomama · Feb 22, 2021 at 11:17 AM

Fighting despair, regret, sorrow, remorse, defeat.

I'm drinking water and trying to rest my heartbeat. Anxiety can be really rough sometimes. Especially when it's over something that you know isn't bad. I'm taking deep breaths and I'm thinking of lighting a lavender candle or something to just relax for a moment. In other words, I think I'm coping okay. In a bit of a dip, but it's not too deep.

I feel very stressed today. My cats are stressing me out and I have chores I have to deal with. I have no energy. I'm trying to cope but it's just not going well.

I’m coping kinda ok. I am pretty crabby though. I just don’t like it when people hover and fuss over me. I’m 28 and a functional adult. But I either get treated like I’m a kid or I get treated like I’m mentally challenged.

I wasn’t even treated like this when I was a teenager.

Oh boy I'm tired, I think it's winter, and the overtime I'm doing. Also I think my tendency to worry tires me out.

I'm okay though and trying not to worry.

By using positive self talk as best I can, & visualizing how it will be later on.

Planning to shower and kick myself out for a walk----feeling sad and lost

I'm coping by posting on the forum.

leomama · Feb 23, 2021 at 02:19 PM

Working a job that pays my bills, paying attention to what I eat and drink

Discombobulated · Feb 23, 2021 at 04:20 PM

Tired again but tomorrow off work. I'm enjoying listening to the wind and rain outside.

Mountaindewed · Feb 23, 2021 at 06:54 PM

I’m doing ok but I’m kind of down tonight. I am sure it is perfectly normal to feel like this. But I still feel pretty crappy right now.

But I coped well today.

WovenGalaxy · Feb 24, 2021 at 12:56 PM

I'm really tired today and felt kind of sick earlier. I'm wondering if I have a virus. I did go grocery shopping earlier but laying low now.

I ordered a few books from my local bookstore. I just want to get lost in a good book.

Discombobulated · Feb 24, 2021 at 03:02 PM

I enjoyed going for a run first thing this morning and had a chilled out kind of Day, got some small tasks done and caught up with a dear friend by phone. That was nice.

I still have some worries but talked them through with my H.

Mountaindewed · Feb 24, 2021 at 04:05 PM

I’m coping well. I’m pretty down right now but I think it’s because I took my Geodon at midnight to help me sleep. So I haven’t had any in a long time.

Breaking Dawn · Feb 24, 2021 at 04:23 PM

I've been reading about nutrition, enjoyed watching two favorite tv programs, reading some good posts here in the forums. I'm feeling better than I was early this morning.

Deilla · Feb 24, 2021 at 10:56 PM

I'm not coping very well. I'm having a difficult time. I feel a great depression. It's been since before my med changes that I've felt this bad. It's situational. I'm very upset about current circumstances. There's nothing I can do about it.

leomama · Feb 24, 2021 at 11:11 PM

I’m fighting a major resentment against a loved one who’s totally enmeshed with the family member they live with. I feel totally angry tonight and I know the only person I can change is me so I set a boundary with this person so their passive aggressive communication tactic will no longer effect me in one particular situation. I recently learned this loved one communication is passive aggressive and I’m so mad about it. They’re an alcoholic and an addict with untreated mental illness so I shouldn’t be surprised they’re also passive aggressive .

WovenGalaxy · Feb 25, 2021 at 04:17 PM

Stressful day and I survived. It's also sunny, yay. Home now, resting and I made myself a salad.

Mountaindewed · Feb 25, 2021 at 09:33 PM

I don’t get how all this nausea and stuff is just anxiety. I feel so sick right now. This morning I coped weird. Then I read all morning. I had a doctors appointment which I wasn’t too happy about. Then I came home for the rest of the night. I’m in pain from my weird thing. And I don’t want to go out for a long time. I don’t like being around people at stores I got about 4 or 5 books from the library and I have a couple more coming. I think I’ll just read and get coffee for the next several days.

But today I did ok I just distracted myself from my thoughts from reading a lot. I know it’s in my safety plan as a coping skill to use. So maybe it was ok.

Deilla · Feb 25, 2021 at 10:36 PM

Today I coped by sleeping a lot. It was nice to get some rest.
